The Pittsburgh Education Recruitment Consortium (PERC), is a consortium of approximately 26 colleges and universities in western Pennsylvania, Ohio and northern West Virginia. Annually, approximately 1000 candidates from the consortium (and several non-consortium institutions) attend the PERC Education Job Fair. Participating employers interview and hire teacher candidates in all Pre K-12 disciplines, as well as related professional certification areas such as school counseling, school social work, speech language pathology, OT, PT, and nursing. Juniors and Seniors are invited to attend the fair.
